Marquis Dongxiang was giving a speech, leaving the soldiers perplexed.Tomorrow, they would depart for Yu State to suppress the bandits, leaving them no time for training. By the time they return from Yu State, a month would have passed. However, they didn’t know that the journey from the Capital to Yu State was arranged by Marquis Dongxiang as their training. It wasn’t just them; even Su Chong and Prince NanAn were part of it. Upon returning to the Marquis Mansion, Marquis Dongxiang instructed Su Chong and the others to pack their bags. Su Chong’s eyes widened, "Why pack the bags?" "To go to Yu State," Marquis Dongxiang replied. "...." "We are going to Yu State too?" Su Chong’s voice was somewhat unsteady. He hadn’t planned on going to Yu State at all. Prince NanAn and the others had even less intention of going. Especially since tomorrow was the Lotus Viewing Banquet at Prince Yu Mansion, and their bruises had just healed. After Su Chong argued reasonably, he managed to convince Marquis Dongxiang to allow them to attend the Lotus Viewing Banquet at Prince Yu Mansion before catching up. Before they knew it, the day of the Lotus Viewing Banquet at Prince Yu Mansion had arrived. The sky was clear, and the sun shone brightly. After breakfast, Su Jin took Xingxing to Qihao Hall to greet the Old Madam. She wore a sky blue Cloud Brocade dress, her slender waist barely graspable, with light makeup, enhancing her vibrant beauty. Su Jin’s appearance was pure and extraordinary, flawless, and the hairstyle and ornaments matched her dress perfectly, leaving no room for criticism. The Second Madam looked Su Jin up and down, praising, "The Eldest Young Madam’s outfit is nice, elegant yet not losing nobility." "Second Sister-in-law is right, just looking at her looks and outfit, it’s hard to tell she’s a bandit from Qingyun Mountain," the Third Madam added with a harsher tone. Since Aunt Xue entered the mansion, the Third Madam hadn’t been in a good mood. Now she seemed to be lashing out at everyone, wanting everyone as unhappy as she was. The day after Aunt Xue entered the mansion, she set rules for her. Aunt Xue was obedient, even taking the initiative to ask for birth control medicine to show allegiance to the Third Madam, having no intention of competing with her. For women in the inner courtyard, not having children meant a precarious status. Aunt Xue proactively asking for birth control medicine was exactly what the Third Madam hoped for. But when the medicine was brought, just as Xue was about to take it, the Third Master hurriedly arrived and smashed the bowl. The bowl shattered on the table, splashing the Third Madam. The Third Madam was infuriated since the medicine was requested by Aunt Xue herself. Aunt Xue also admitted she asked for it, yet the Third Master didn’t believe it at all. Aunt Xue had just finished greeting her within a quarter of an hour, and the medicine was already prepared and brought up. Who would believe it wasn’t prepared in advance?! The Third Madam was left speechless. The medicine was indeed prepared in advance by her, and she couldn’t deny it. The Third Master protected Aunt Xue and severely scolded the Third Madam, even exempting Aunt Xue from greeting the Third Madam in the morning, causing her great shame. The Third Madam blamed the misstep of the Third Master taking a concubine on Princess Nanzhang and Su Jin, naturally showing them no goodwill. Princess Nanzhang looked at Su Jin and said, "You are the Eldest Young Madam of Duke Zhen’s Mansion. Naturally, you can’t be absent from this banquet. But if you attend the banquet and indulge wilfully, using the whip to lash out in a moment of anger and disrupt the banquet at Prince Yu Mansion, whether you are right or wrong, you’ll kneel in the Buddhist Hall for three days when you return!" Su Jin’s good mood for the banquet vanished under Princess Nanzhang’s strict words. Xie Jinyu then looked at Xingxing’s satchel and said, "Leave the whip that the Emperor bestowed." Xingxing held onto the satchel and said, "The whip the Emperor bestowed upon my mistress is for whipping people!" Taking the whip out is intended for use against the guests, or else is it to whip the family if hidden in their chamber? Xingxing had sincerity in her words, and there was no falsehood. However, Princess Nanzhang had just reprimanded Su Jin, and they were not giving her credit, igniting Princess Nanzhang’s anger again. "It seems you’re determined to disrupt Prince Yu Mansion’s Lotus Viewing Banquet?!" Princess Nanzhang said coldly. Su Jin couldn’t help but roll her eyes at the ceiling. What kind of nonsense is this? Does carrying a whip necessarily mean someone will use it? Can’t it just be used to frighten people? "Mother’s reprimand wasn’t just for me, was it?" Su Jin asked. "The same goes for everyone!" Princess Nanzhang replied. "Since it’s the same for everyone, I certainly won’t disrupt Prince Yu Mansion’s event. As for the whip, I plan to go shopping later. While I won’t use it at Prince Yu Mansion, who knows about the streets? It’s better to be prepared," Su Jin said. If someone else said this, Princess Nanzhang would have reprimanded her immediately. But she had no words when it was Su Jin. Because the whip was a gift from the Emperor. Su Jin had saved the Emperor with that whip. A noble lady cannot walk around with a whip, but Su Jin is no typical noble lady. Since they chose to marry her into the family, they had to accept her past. If temperaments were easy to change, why do they say "Rivers and mountains can change, but a man’s character cannot?" The bitter fruit she brewed, she must swallow. Chapters first released on novel⚑fire.net Xie Jinyu retracted her gaze from Su Jin and said, "Mother, I will watch over my sister-in-law, so you and grandmother can rest assured." "The hour is late; we’ll head to Prince Yu Mansion first, and when you enter the palace later, please give my regards to the Empress Dowager." "Go on." Xie Jinyu and the others curtsied and took their leave. Watching them walk away, the Second Madam couldn’t take her eyes off them. The Third Madam noticed, "What is Second Sister-in-law looking at?" "I suddenly understand why the Emperor favors Marquis Dongxiang’s daughter so much," the Second Madam smiled and said. "Why?" The Third Madam asked, curious. "Haven’t you noticed that the Eldest Young Madam’s eyes are very similar to Consort Yun’s back in the day?" The Second Madam asked. The Third Madam was stunned for a moment, "I hadn’t noticed until you mentioned it." The Emperor was deeply in love with Consort Yun. The women favored in the harem inevitably carried a trace of her likeness. The more one resembled Consort Yun, the more favor one received. Yet anyone who tried to mimic Consort Yun’s style and deliberately pleased the Emperor would incite his anger. Being close to the king is like living with a tiger. "How are they alike?" Princess Nanzhang said with indifference. "Consort Yun’s eyes were gentle and could captivate all beings. Our Eldest Young Madam’s gazing, on the other hand, could make people tremble with fear. How can they be the same?" Princess Nanzhang mocked. The Second Madam, "...." With such a statement from Princess Nanzhang, she even doubted if her eyesight had faltered. But when the Eldest Young Madam entered, that gaze at that moment was exactly like Consort Yun back in the day. Those eyes were so beautiful— Beautiful to the point that they’re unforgettable. The maids around trembled with restrained laughter, shoulders shaking violently. In front of Duke Zhen Mansion. Several carriages were stationed, luxurious and exquisite. The leading one belonged to Su Jin, with steps already set up. Xingxing supported Su Jin into the carriage, then climbed in herself. Xie Jinyu wore an unhappy expression. Because she had to walk more steps and her carriage was slightly smaller compared to Su Jin’s, and she had to squeeze in with Xie Jinxiu and the others. She always wanted the best of everything. Now being outdone by Su Jin, she was uncomfortable. However, thinking that after today, the annoying person would have no chance to make a fool of herself again, her mood became uncontrollably delighted.
